Is there a Mushroom collector in Paldea?

Question

An Item Maniac is a person who will purchase certain items from the player at a higher price than what they would be sold for, like in 5th generation games. I own several valuable items and I want to sell them at the best price.

The description for the Big Mushroom suggests it:

It's extremely popular with a certain class of collectors.

Is there a Mushroom collector in Paldea?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the Mushroom Collector is missing from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.
You cannot sell the Mushrooms in the game to a Mushroom Collector, because the game does not have Item Maniacs like the previous titles that buy the items for high prices.

You can head over to a Pokemart and sell the mushrooms there, at a lower price.
